New A/C

I went to Dallas for 5 days, but I'm back now and getting back to work.  A week ago Wednesday I had my new air conditioner put in.  The old one was a gamble.  The copper tubing that contained the freon had been stolen while the house was vacant and that allowed humid, summer air to get inside the compressor.  The moisture in the air can mix with the oil inside the unit and can cause it to turn acidic and start eating at the metal inside. ( I learned all this from my furnace man.)  So my furnace guy could have fixed it but there was a 50/50 chance that it wouldn't have worked, and the freon itself was going to cost around $400.  So in the end I decided to just get a new one, the old one was bigger than what the house needed anyway.  Besides it sounds better to say "New furnace and a/c" instead of just "new furnace" when selling.
